Continuing our theme of last week’s post on Sight Words made fun, I am posting a list of ideas to keep your kids engaged this week (assuming the kiddos have tired of the Sight Word Munching Monsters that we posted earlier).
The biggest key to sight word success is to interact with the words. This means building them, writing them, drawing them and yes, even discussing them with mommy and daddy during “play time”.
Sight Words Ideas
- Use wax sticks (like Wiki Stix) to spell out the words and make pictures for words.
- Use bathtub paint to draw and write “sight word graffiti” on the wall during bath time.
- Use toothpicks or scrabble tiles to spell out the words (for the toothpicks they can glue them down and display the paper on the fridge! :))
- Create coloring pages then color them in a creative way (see image below)
For the coloring pages, I would recommend finding a printable that is on a subject your child is interested in (my nephew loves Mario brothers). I cut up tissue paper into small squares, with a little plate of glue and a pencil you can create the wonderful work of art you see below! (Photo courtesy my nephew! He was doing color sight words).
